House Einstoffen is a merchant house in the Duchy of Urnst, led by Lord Vidor Einstoffen. Their house colors are blue and yellow.[1]

Known for employing lawful but sometimes unconventional humanoid retainers, they prioritize business over politics and show no ambition to join the Duchy's Noble Houses. Unlike rival merchant houses seeking status, House Einstoffen focuses solely on its trade and often supports the urban and rural poor, frequently operating at little or no profit.[2][3]

House Einstoffen as a merchant house was destroyed when all their key leaders were murdered in Leukish in 598 CY.[4]

Resources
